Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1279585A1] A steering apparatus has a manipulator (17), a steered wheel (16) being steered in a steered range, which is between two predetermined end positions. A first detector (26) detects operation of the manipulator (17) and outputs a signal representing the detection result. A second detector (39) detects at least one of two states of the steered wheel (16) and outputs a signal representing the detection result. In one of the states, the steered wheel (16) is at either of the end positions. In the other state, the steered wheel (16) is deviated from either of the end positions. A controller (22) controls a driving device (36). The controller (22) causes the driving device (36) to steer the steered wheel (16) in accordance with the signal from the first detector (26). When the steered wheel (16) reaches either one of the end positions, the controller (22) causes the driving device (36) to stop steering motion of the steered wheel (16) based on the signal from the second detector (39) and to hold the steered wheel (16) at the end position. <IMAGE>
